Awesome boost for Hillary in her quest to win New York. The largest labor union in New York City has endorsed Hillary, and they are ready to put lots of boots on the ground for her:

DC 37 Is With Hillary Clinton

DC 37 PLEDGES SUPPORT FOR HILLARY CLINTON

Union endorsement puts an army of activists behind Clinton for NY Primary

With the New York State Democratic presidential primary election weeks away, District Council 37 vowed yesterday to mobilize its army of activists on behalf of former Secretary of State/NY Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The union’s delegates voted overwhelmingly to endorse her candidacy during their monthly meeting at union headquarters.
“We are proud to endorse Secretary Clinton as the next president of our great nation,” said DC 37 Executive Director Henry Garrido. “We supported her first run for office back in 2000, when she was elected to the U.S. Senate. We know her serious commitment to public service and her history of fighting for others, especially children and working families. She can count on this union to work diligently to get out the vote for the April 19 Primary in New York.”
In a show of solidarity, former President Bill Clinton will join union leaders and activists at a rally in support of her candidacy at union headquarters tomorrow, March 31. DC 37 is New York City’s largest public employee union, with 121,000 members and 50,000 retirees.
DC 37’s national union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees – which represents 1.6 million public service workers across the country – has endorsed Clinton
